Late March Pyramid Lake Report

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
Lot's of great fish being caught, that is for sure. Seems like we had a run on where every outing we would get into fish in the 14-20# class. Not seeing a lot of high numbers right now in quantity of fish being caught, but if you soak that bobber long enough you are bound to get rewarded....don't miss those dunks. Strip game is decent

Good Spring fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Spring’s always pretty good. Not a lot of numbers, but good fish when you hook ’em. We are experiencing some run-off. Flows have come up to almost 700 cubes here in the Hirsch. Pretty good vis though. This is the time to get the big dogs, trust me. Fish the edges first. Best thing to do is -go in with the streamer first. Nymph later. Trouts can’t

Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind. In another few weeks as the fish get closer to their annual spawn, we should see the weather become less of a factor on the fishing but as of now the stormy, overcast days continue to be your best bet. With that said, this small storm expected on Sunday and

With the flows on the river in an upward trend, conditions are changing on a daily basis

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As the days get longer and we begin to see temperatures stay above freezing, we have seen the river begin to swell with the early stages of spring runoff this week. The small storm expected early next week will only slightly delay this and around the middle of the week we will be right back to warmer weather which should continue this trend What does this

The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior

by RENO FLY SHOP
The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior. The fish are still biting when there is some wind and weather. Both the retrieve and indicator fishing has been working with indicator taking a slight advantage when there is little to no weather. With that being said, a lot of our indicator bites are shallower than 6 feet and no

Rainbow trout have begun their spawn

by RENO FLY SHOP
Skwala stoneflies have made themselves seen this week. This is a little later than usual but we’re happy to see them as are the trout. Larger flies like this are easier for trout to detect in dirty water, making the inflow of runoff a happy coincidence. Otherwise, nymphing has still been best, dirty water can be good for streamer fishing and fishing a worm or

The lake has leveled off from going up or down over the last week

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake has leveled off from going up or down over the last week. Shore anglers are doing fair with Green or yellow powerbait on the California side. Trollers have been doing well with Rapalas or flashers. The Douglas County Park is open for launching, dayuse and camping. The Topaz Landing Marina is open for launching and boat mooring.
